Thanks Mike! Never thought of giving it a try on a generator. I have a Honda 3500 watt that I fire up once a month (Man, really crappy gas these days!). Next time I do that I will plug in the little Everlast and give it a go. If that won't do it my brother in law was hinting he wanted to sell me his 5500 watt gen as he moved to town and didn't feel he would have need of it. Be kind of cool to toss my welding goodies in my little 6 x 10 covered trailer to do some mobile welding.
